    I have been assured full bodied rigs on 35s with 44s and 1 ton rears can not only keep with any of the competition but fully get it. They're the best built and engineered. All bolt on bitches!

    Now I am on the hunt for a spare, or a place that will vulcanize the sidewall on the fifth one not pictured. :cool:

    Yup. 40/13.5/17 Goodyear MTR's. Lots of tread left, no rot at all, and I got an awesome deal too. I loved my old 35" mtr's, very robust tire for sure.

    I have been searching for a while but there's just not much available around here. And when there is it's iroks or super swampers, I don't exactly want a set of 10,000 mile tires on this thing with all the driving I do. These happen to pop up at the right time, and BOOM...that just happened :D

    If you have a GCR / TDS they will vulcanize.

    Yep. Guess I use them too much :(

    First one was a HF that I got several years out of. This was my first Hobart, I really like it too. Apparently they had some issues with electronics burning up on the PC board, affecting the wire feed. That's exactly what happened, no wire feed at all. Tried replacing a thermistor that's usually the culprit, but no luck.

    I think its time to buy new, and get a warranty. Sucks, a week ago Farm and Fleet had the Handler 190 on sale for $499 too. :(
